Complainant has challenged the truthfulness of 7 specific statements posted on www.ripoffreport.com by the Author of Report #1011478. The Author responded to the Complaint filed by Complainant in the time allowed and elected to remain anonymous. In accordance with the Ripoff Report VIP Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”), the Arbitrator will decide whether each of the 7 statements is an opinion or a statement of fact. If, and only if, the statement is determined to be a statement of fact, the Arbitrator will then go further and decide if, by a preponderance of the evidence, the statement is true or not.

In this case, the Arbitrator had only the Complaint and the Response to consider, as neither party provided any other evidence.

The Arbitrator was asked to decide whether the preponderance of the evidence submitted established that each challenged Statement is true or that it is false. If the statement identified by the Complainant is determined to be an opinion, no determination will be made as to that particular statement because an opinion cannot be determined.

The Arbitrator was further asked to decide whether the preponderance of the evidence submitted established whether the challenged statements, were in fact, withdrawn from the report. In this case, the Author of Ripoff Report #1011478 admitted in the Response that the entire Ripoff Report was false and specifically withdrew each statement. The Arbitrator accepted the uncontroverted argument of Complainant that statements are not protected as opinion if they state or imply facts. Therefore, the Arbitrator deemed that all 7 of the challenged statements to be statements of fact and false.

The Arbitrator was further asked to decide whether the preponderance of the evidence submitted established the identity of the Author as a competitor and not a customer of the Complainant of Ripoff Report #1011478. The Arbitrator found that the Author is a competitor and not a customer of Complainant, which the Author admitted to in the Response. However, the Complainant did not submit any evidence demonstrating who the Author is, and the Author elected to remain anonymous, the Arbitrator does not determine the identity of the Author.

The Arbitrator determined that certain statements in the challenged Report were false. Therefore, according to the VIP Arbitration Rules, those statements have been redacted.

I regret making this post and would remove it this minute if there was a mechanism to do so.

The transcript of the conversation I had with MedEdits is accurate, but I am not, and I have never been, a client of MedEdits, Dr. Freedman, Insider Medical Admissions or Dr. Finkel. I never signed up with MedEdits, and was never promised Id work with Dr. Freedman. I never had an initial session with any MedEdits advisor, and never submitted to MedEdits any application that I expected Dr. Freedman or any other employee of MedEdits to read.

I acknowledge that MedEdits is a legitimate business, and not in any way a scam. I certainly dont advise their potential clients to stay away.

I sincerely regret making this post, and any harm I may have caused to MedEdits or anyone who works there. I would retract this if possible.
